Given a set of rectangular pieces and a container of fixed width and variable length, the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) consists of orthogonally placing all the p...
A fast design variation technique for mechanical systems is presented. It is used to interactively optimize mechanical characteristics while "self-assembling" or satisfy...
The basic idea of an algebraic approach to learning Bayesian network (BN) structures is to represent every BN structure by a certain uniquely determined vector, called the standar...
Abstract. Among backtracking based algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), algorithms employing constraint propagation, like forward checking (FC) and MAC, have had...
Active engagement in the subject material has been strongly linked to deeper learning. In traditional teaching environments, even though the student might be presented with new con...
